    Machine that goes ping... Blofeld’s heavy control heli console.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Robert Rietty providing Blofeld's voice... vocal echoes of both Largo and Tanaka.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    For some reason I haven't noticed the Universal Exports logo on the helicopter before.

    Moore‘s suit looks very well!

    The cat gives one of the best performances of the series' white Persians...

    Beckton Gasworks, over which the helicopter scene takes place, was famously also used in Full Metal Jacket (doubling as Vietnam) and somewhat less famously in my childhood favourite, Biggles (doubling as the WW1 western front).

    Love how Blofeld slams the controlpad :D

    It’s a miniature! The helicopter in the buildings...

    Great song

    I am sure that I was the only bloke who found Sheena Easton incredibly hot back then :D

    And now it's all about Maurice Binder's besotted fascination with Sheena Easton. Her inclusion in the sequence makes this one of his best later sequences.

    Good idea to get Sheena Easton on screen too.

    On my LP, all tracks have been pitched slower.
    Or the movie tunes where pitched up

    It’s funny how electronic tones have dated some eighties songs, and others like this, it only adds to them. Builds on the films aquatic theme too...

    The floating mine sequence is really good. Very cold war.

    Amazing how large the belly of that little fishingboat really is :D

    The ATAC might as well be labelled "MacGuffin"

    The St. Georges scene, with its nautical flavour and old fashioned WWII mine give me something of the flavour of an Alistair Maclean thriller. I really like it.
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,998MI6 Agent
    The sinking of the St George is the most harrowing of the series' doomed crew sequences. Edgier in its realism even than the fate of The Devonshire crew in TND.

    THE Machine that makes the others go Ping... The A.T.A.C...

    Looks amazing in person too.

    First sign that Bernard Lee is no longer with us :# - Minister of Defence replaced M here (later it'll be Tanner)

    It’s a miniature! The sinking St George’s. My Gods, Mr Meddings was a master of the trade.

    Geoffrey Keen holding the fort, and Gogol providing some more welcome familiarity.

    There was "mine reports" on the radio decades after WWII ended. "a floating mine is observed just north of Stadt."

    I’ve just learned that Rubelwich is infact Austrian :D

    The Havelock family are presented in a Flemingesque way.

    Plenty of Fleming in this movie- here, the Havelocks being killed by Gonzales is adapted from the FYEO story
